People always say that the third daughter of the Wei family has good fortune. Born into wealth and nobility, with elegant and beautiful features, she is destined to marry a satisfactory husband and...
These questions should have been asked in front of Sun Lurong, but Wei Shuwan knew that ever since she was punished by being made to reflect on her mistakes in the meditation room, her mother had stopped trying to please her grandmother, and her grandmother had become increasingly distant from her mother. Therefore, she couldn't say these complaints to her mother directly, so she asked herself, a junior, to act as a messenger.
Wei Shuwan smiled and coaxed, "Grandmother, what are you saying? We can afford to pay ten times five hundred taels for your treatment. Tomorrow, I will have someone invite that expert doctor to the manor to examine you!"
Her words were both magnanimous and filial, but Madam Wei Wen felt a little awkward. "I heard that the renowned doctor rarely visits patients. To show our sincerity, we should go to his clinic first."
"That's fine then. When is Grandmother going? I'll go with you."
Wei Shuwan's words silenced Wei Wenshi's objections once again. With her following along, she naturally wouldn't need to handle money matters through others.
Madam Wei felt there was no need to beat around the bush with her anymore, so she said directly, "Alright, Grandmother doesn't need you to come along. Yao'er is enough. Just have your mother give you five hundred taels of silver!"
"It's just a mere five hundred taels, Grandmother, you don't need to worry about it. Shuyao is Grandmother's granddaughter, and so is Wanwan. If Shuyao is with her, Wanwan should be with her too."
Wei Wenshi realized that her granddaughter was indeed as cunning as a lotus root, full of cleverness. She could speak so eloquently that no one could find fault with her, yet she could shut down everyone else's words with a smile.
She can use it, but she can't take it. She's determined not to let those five hundred taels pass through their hands!
Lady Wei had lived a life of luxury, but she never expected to be harassed by a younger generation with a few hundred taels of silver in her later years. She was so angry that she said, "Fine, I won't look anymore. You can go back now!"
Wei Shuwan knew what she was angry about, so she didn't bother to persuade her. Instead, she simply asked to leave.
Once outside, Wei Shuwan deliberately slowed her pace and stopped to eavesdrop for a while. Sure enough, she heard Wei Chengxu losing control of his emotions and making hysterical noises.
After listening for a while, Wei Shuwan left satisfied.
